[Peter Doherty]

Let’s face it. You are all a bunch of basement-dwelling 40-50 somethings living your life on an internet-based FOOTY FORUM who don’t know shit from shit.

.

That's a lucky guess.

 

[Runnin Blue]

That's a lucky guess.

I’m pretty perceptive. Especially when I’ve been drinking.

 

[Peter Doherty]

I’m pretty perceptive. Especially when I’ve been drinking.

Ah, the demon drink.

 

[crow2crow]

So, it’s complete conjecture. Just as I suspected.

You f*****g whingers will never shut up crying about the club you supposedly barrack for. “Noble sucks”, “We want noble back”. “Campo sucks”, “we want Campo back”. “Ogilvie sucks”, “ Reid sucks”, “they all suck”.

Let’s face it. You are all a bunch of basement-dwelling 40-50 somethings living your life on an internet-based FOOTY FORUM who don’t know shit from shit.

Shut the f*** up and get a life or start a football club yourselves.

you only got one thing wrong. most are over 50 I'd say inc me.

 

[1970crow]

Richmond won't have any issue paying his salary as are clearing out many of their best players.

Highest paid player at the wooden spoon club... goes to show need more than 1 gun to be a decent team.

They'd have backloaded the crap out of his contract to have him when they were flag competing. All good when you look back and the flags are in the bank. But different when you're the Pies and you fell short. Who knows how backloaded the Brisbane and Melbourne lists are, they're well ahead of the rest of the keague for talent.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Ah, the demon drink.

Clarry?

 

[1970crow]

Conjecture - no.

Fact - yes!

Stick your head in the sand if you must as I really couldn't care less.

Pointless engaging with anyone that has no idea how Roo has impeded our club.

 

[Crows4Flag]

Been touched on plenty of times. He is separated and has at least one kid in school still... Won't move interstate

Put your house on Buckley coaching Tasmania

 

[Runnin Blue]

Pointless engaging with anyone that has no idea how Roo has impeded our club.

How has he impeded our club. The floor is yours.

 

[1970crow]

I think it’s hard to get over Burton

That is the main thing that has ruined the club in short to medium term and the issue is we know he was a boys club hire


In other areas he’s done well , ie he’s main reason we hired Walsh . He’s got connections and influence that other people in Adelaide don’t have

There’s plenty of good things he’s done but he’s made some errors that have cost the club years of pain

But we don't actually know how Walsh was going to turn out. We know he was ropeable after a lacklustre away win against Brisbane and said we were going to make changes at selection. But we don't know whether pressure was going to be applied to stop that or whether he'd have pulled the pin, like a Francou, because he was banging his head against a wall. At best, Walsh is neither positive, nor negative.

We do know that he said that he knew Nix was the man after a bbq where they discussed footy and they agreed with each others philosophies. That's enough to counteract any perceived win over Walsh.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

So. Anyone heard any rumours?

How dare you try and get the thread back on track.

The nerve, the neeerrrvvveeee!

 

[1970crow]

The only fact is you are an internet amoeba that learns to breathe solely from shitting on everything everyday.

This guy is loose enough to be Alex. But no pictures of turds in toilet bowls yet, but the night is young.

So you are another basement internet whinger. All spare time, no substance.

Carry on.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Did you read Hodgy ’s post? He’s saying that if a bid comes in the second round and we go into deficit and have no second next year, then they start taking from the next earliest pick, not the next latest.

I saw it.

Is there Proof?

 

[Scorpus]

How has he impeded our club. The floor is yours.

Ricciuto is a board member. All board members are responsible for the club's results, and all board members are responsible for decisions across the organization.

Mark Ricciuto is literally responsible for our lack of success over the decade he has been in the role. This is not some guess, his role is a board member, so that's what he is responsible for. He is literally responsible for decisions we have made to sack and promote staff over his tenure. He is literally responsible for the direction of the club.

my old boss would do that, take a photo of a dump, then send a text, he must have liked me, i never got one

Given he’s actually the football director, he’s more responsible than the rest of them. Unless Running Blue thinks we’ve been good under Roo….plus pretty sure he’s been the one constant

Fancy Roos best mate being recruited by the club after ****ing up at Brisbane and thinking the football director wasn’t responsible.

Again, you (and others) attribute specific things to Mark Ricciuto with no direct proof. I asked for specifics. Conjecture isn’t specifics. They would not hold up in a court of law. You have your opinion. Fine. I asked for specific examples. So far, none.

A big fat zero.

Agree re we don’t know how he would turn out

He could have turned out badly but he set a new standard which after he left the boys carried through, he changed the culture of which Pyke then benefitted from

He was the right change of culture at the right time

I gave you specifics. He is specifically responsible for everything because he is a board member

 

[spenze]

Running Blue is on the 28th day

 

[cleanhands]

Coz I’m brave (and drunk).

Have you sobered up? Will it be a coherent response if I asked you a question?

Think about what you’re asking. You want proof, what proof do you expect to receive? Beyond being the football director, beyond being the one constant through this whole shit show, beyond sitting on the list management committee, beyond having a say in the recruitment and employment of key personal, beyond his best mate being employed despite a shit work history and after telling Roo he wants to go home whilst sharing a family holiday, beyond telling supporters to follow another club if they didn’t like how the club was managed which then led to a review with key changes, beyond talking about players contacts on MMM, beyond getting in embarrassing Twitter blue with a past player, beyond us finishing bottom and with no finals in 7 years whilst he has been football diredor, beyond giggling whilst he boundary rider for Port games, what further proof do you want that he’s shit? Emails?

But let’s flip it, besides being a legend footballer and a hard worker, provide proof of good qualities as our football director and under his watch what we have achieved.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Bad day dude?

Not at all. Why?
